What To Do For Locking Of The Joint Near The Palm And Index Finger?
Hello, the joint nearest the palm on my index finger keeps locking up and is extremely painful. I do have small joint arthritis which is fairly well controlled by medication. This may be associated but I have never suffered from this before. The lock eases by itself after a period of time. I am concerned that it is happening quite frequently and is debilitating when it happens. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, May Richards.
